Univariate classification of human osteochondral plugs grouped by OARSI grade for the top three performing MRI measurements in superficial, deep, and full-thickness ROIs. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are reported as the means and standard deviations over 100 random selections of training sets and validation sets of equal size normal (n = 23) and diseased (n = 17) groups using the Mahalanobis distance metric and leave-one-out cross-validation method.
